Mr. E and I enjoy a bit of entertaining and cooking for my parents - we count it as a hobby of ours. We probably cook about once every three or so weeks for my parents, and when we do we generally try to go all out and cook something different and exciting. Now, neither of us are particularly confident in the kitchen on our own, so for these more taxing meals we use recipes and stick to them very closely. And for every recipe we follow closely, we need a good kitchen scale too... In the past we'd always used my mum's old kitchen scale - an old fashioned affair where you line up little weights along the bottom and a big silver tray sits on the top. We thought ...  Read the complete review

I like to do a lot of cooking and baking and because of this, I did end up buying a really decent set of kitchen scales. I had looked around and Salter are always one of the best brands for this kind of thing and so this is why I went for this Arc model. I liked the look of these and although on Amazon, these were really slated with terrible reviews it didn't put me off as I like to give things a try and make up my own mind. Also, these were on sale at a really reasonable price which made me even more ready to buy these. APPEARANCE These are a black plastic scale and on the front is the Salter logo and to the left of this is a small LCD screen which ...  Read the complete review

I invested in a set of these kitchen scales after months of guestimating how much of each ingredient I should be putting in my cooking and baking and having started to make more breads, which were coming out the oven to mixed results, I thought it was time to get a set of scales. I picked these scales up from one of the Tesco Home shops for £10 and I have been very impressed. The main two factors behind my purchase was the price, I felt that £10 was very reasonable for digital scales. The second factor was the manufacturer, Salter. From talking to the likes of my Mum, Salter's seem to be a good manufacturer of kitchen products and it would seem that mother ...  Read the complete review

I needed some electronic scales because I had some cheapo traditional mechanical ones that I think were from the pound shop and I found them difficult to set to zero and they weren't as precise as I would have liked. I originally went to Argos and ended up buying their value electronic scales as I am usually a big fan of value ranges for items that are going to go in a drawer and only be used on an occasional basis. Unfortunately on this occasion the Argos value scales were absolutely useless and were quickly returned to the store where I swapped them for these Salter electronic scales. The Salter electronic kitchen scales are sleekly modern ...  Read the complete review

I had broken the old kitchen scales as I dropped them and unfortunately when they fell I broke the dial so after them working well for many years I had to invest in a new set. Then I decided to do some cooking one morning and I completely forgot that they were broken, so when I picked up the cooking ingredients from Sainsbury's I also had to purchase a new set of scales. Unfortunately they did not have a wide selection they had one set, so I didn't really have a choice. The Salter black electronic scales were £12.99, it was a little more than I wanted to pay, but as they were electronic I assumed that this justified the price ...  Read the complete review
